Hello from PC1959, East Sussex

Hi, another late intro as I have been reading the site for ages but the automatic shaming message:

"Hi pc1959,

 

Please remember to make your first post an Introduction. Click HERE to be taken to the Introductions Board"

has now worked its magic on me.

I registered last year to look for a Matador timber tractor, just missed the one I was going for but became hooked on this site.

I live in Wadhurst, just down the road from Beltring and I'm starting to notice loads of MVs in people's gardens ie a Halftrack and 6x6 truck (Reo, Kaiser?) in Flimwell and a Bren Carrier in Burwash.

 

I'd still like to get a Matador (Rough timber tractor prefered) to join the various old cars, diggers and dumpers I already have.

 

Carry on the good work!

It is not a Shamming message, Every member is asked to post an Introduction on joining the forum but some just seem to ignore the request.

 

As the Forum is getting more members each day & to help weed out spammers & scammers we have put up the automated message that members below a certain post count will see. This has been welcomed by existing members as there are too many just jumping into conversations without taking the time to Introduce themselves.

Since when did Jack Regan drive round in a Hillman Avenger? Anyway welcome aboard, best of luck with the Matador search

 

You're right, Jack and all the other plod drove Fords. I think the deal with Ford was that all the slags, blaggers, toerags, flossers, villains etc. had to drive non Ford vehicles and were thus no match for the forces of Law & Order. In any chase all the hubcaps had to fall off the bad mens car before it ploughed into a wall (or some convenient boxes) for no reason.

 

However, if I don my anorak...

 

Here is an Avenger from the Sweeney II film

 

 

And one from The Professionals

 

 

 

Both obviously up to no good.
